Barnard Castle Prep School

The Prep School is an integral part of Barnard Castle School, having access to all its facilities and expertise.

It is situated in a separate area of the school grounds with its own organisation, staff and buildings. Pupils, therefore, have the benefit of the security of their own area while benefiting from many extras.

Pre-Prep

Starting school is enjoyable and fun. We offer a fine start to a child’s education.

Prep

The atmosphere is warm, friendly and supportive. Children are encouraged to try their best in everything they do.

Pastoral

Prep School has an enviable reputation for being a friendly environment, with children developing a positive attitude towards themselves and others.

Boarding

Home from home, Old Courts provides an excellent facility highly praised in a recent Ofsted inspection.

Sport

An important part of a developing child, there are plenty of opportunities in a variety of sports.

The Arts

Music, Drama and Art all play an exciting role in and out of the classroom.

Activities

We are proud of our wide range of extra curricular activities at Prep School; something for everyone.
